I have a domain (example.com) through GoDaddy and a VPS at a hosting company.
On GoDaddy's site, I've set the domain servers for example.com to that of the hosting company (everything working fine).
From this setup, I'd like to get email forwarded from name@example.com to go to my gmail account.
I found this article, but think that is dependent on using GoDaddy's email servers.

No, you don't need to use GoDaddy's e-mail, you should just follow Google's instructions for how to set your GoDaddy supplied domain's MX records to point at Google's servers.
